Laura's POV
"You can't go back to Korea. Not like this." I shake my head.
"I have nothing keeping me here." Jungkook sighs before taking a sip of his coffee.
"JK, she still loves you. She's been in pain since you guys fought." Hobi tries.
"And this hadn't been hard on me? I still love her more than anything. She doesn't want me back. I've tried." Jungkook scoffs.
"Jungkook, please don't give up on Maya. She's barely left the house since you guys fought." I sigh.
"We broke up...we didn't just fight...we ended our relationship." Jungkook sets down his coffee cup.
"Please...please try again. She was angry but now she's sad." I beg.
"She's more than sad. She's depressed." Hobi adds.
"If she needs me back so bad then why isn't she here fighting for us huh?" Jungkook laughs dryly.
"You two need each other!" I protest.
"I've done just fine without her." Jungkook stares at the ground.
"You don't mean that." I say dryly. Suddenly a man in a suit approached us.
"Laura Hall?" He asks.
"Yes..." I say slowly.
"I'm Detective Simmons, mind stepping outside with me for a bit with your husband?" Simmons asks.
"Not at all." I nod. Hobi urges Jungkook to come with we step outside.
"I've received word from South Lake correctional center that Josh Daniels has escaped. Do you know where Maya Vasquez is?" The detective asks. My heart begins to pick up pace.
"Uhhh she's home watching our daughter." I say slowly.
"Maya is in grave danger. We have reason to believe he's coming for her." Simmons explains.
"Oh God...no." I pull out my phone and call Maya as Simmons picks up a phone call. Maya's phone goes straight to voicemail.
"My partner says Josh was last seen at Target up the road." Simmons says quickly.
"That's right near Maya's house!" I panic. We race to the car and drive off to the house with Detective Simmons in front of us with his siren on. The second we approach the house, I want to scream. The front door is wide open. I begin to have flashbacks to the apartment. Without waiting for Detective Simmons, Hobi and I sprint in the house.
"Maya?!" I cry looking around the wrecked house. There's blood splatter in places.
"Mina?!" Hobi cries.
"Oh God please Not again...." I sob, falling to my knees. Detective Simmons runs in with his gun drawn.
"You have to wait for me to clear the house!" He instructs.
"Oh my God...he made off with our daughter and Maya." I shake my head. We hear crying upstairs. We don't wait another minute and run upstairs to the linen closet. We find Mina swaddled, hidden behind some towels. There's blood stains on her blanket and the towels around her. It's not her blood though. We pull her out and hold her.
"Maya...." Jungkook says in a broken up voice. Hobi and I turn to Jungkook. "Why?.." He then bursts into tears.
"She saved Mina...." I say quietly as Jungkook cries.
"I'm sorry but time is of the essence. Are there security cameras?" Simmons asks.
"Yes...Maya was paranoid and had them installed everywhere..." I reply with tears streaming down my face....

Maya's POV
I swayed with Mina in my arms.
"Boys are stupid Mina. But I won't let any boy break your heart. You don't deserve it...maybe I did though." I say with glassy eyes. Mina coos. I hear a thud come from outside. I walk over to the window and see a shadow moving about. I listen closely.
"Mayaaaaa....I'm baaaackkk!" I hear a familiar singsong voice. The front door bursts open downstairs.
"Fuck!" I whisper. I set Mina in her crib.
"Maya! Come out! I just wanna talk!" Josh yells. Mina starts to cry. I lock the door and try to hush her. The door caves in with one blow. "There you are." A twisted smile forms on his face, darkened by the shadow of his hood while he stands poised with a switch blade.
"You just don't fucking quit do you?!" I hiss.
"Come here!" He commands. I charge him and knock him to the ground. I feel the knife make contact with my arm slicing open my long sleeve tee shirt, and cutting the skin. I run down the long hall to the linen closet. I hide Mina behind some towels and close it as Josh gets up. He charges back at me and knocks me down. I scramble and writhe as he begins to put his hand on the knob of the closet. I get up, grab his waist and jump over the balcony. We fall ten feet into the kitchen. I hear a rib or two snap and cry out in pain. There's no way he's touching that closet. Josh gets up slowly. He stares at a photo of Jungkook and I that I had left up hanging on the wall. It was a professionally taken photo of us before Laura's wedding.
"Is this why you won't come with me? Maybe I'm going after the wrong person." Josh huffs. He throws the picture to the ground and the glass shatters everywhere.
"You bastard! If you lay one hand on him I will cut your throat open!" I yell.
"You love me. You wouldn't do that." Josh laughs malevolently. I grab a butcher knife from the kitchen. I run over to Josh and we begin to struggle. I gain control and-

Laura's POV (Present)
"Looks like the footage stops there....the rest was erased..." Simmons says puzzled. I was watching over his shoulder with Jungkook while Hobi sat on the couch, comforting Mina.
"So that's it? He killed her and wiped the footage." I shake my head.
"Now just a minute. We don't know that. The worst thing to do with little evidence is to jump to conclusions." Simmons stops me.
"Where's María? She was home with Maya and she isn't in the tapes once." I say puzzled.
"María?" Hobi asks the quiet house. No response.
"Oh Maya...." I put my head in my hands.
